Gadadhara Pandita is an incarnation of Srimati Radharani, the internal potency of Lord Krishna. But because Lord Caitanya is Krishna acting in the mood of Srimati Radharani, Gadadhara Pandita, although Radharani, did not act in the mood of Radharani–because there can be only one Radharani. Gadadhara Pandita understood, “This is Krishna’s time. This is Krishna’s opportunity to relish the loving ecstasy of Srimati Radharani, so I will keep my mood of Radha in the background and just support Him in His experience of Radha-bhava.”
It is also said that if Gadadhara Pandita had manifested the nature or feature of Srimati Radharani, then Krishna, who was trying to absorb Himself in the mood of Radharani, would have become attracted to the Radha outside of Him and wouldn’t have been able to maintain His inner mood as Radha.

A positive and happy experience… 
How does one achieve the highest benefit in all devotional practices by nama-sankirtan? When Krishna sees that someone is helping others by giving them the opportunity to hear the holy name, then Krishna from within and from without lifts the curtain of yogamaya from that person. He thus allows them to see the actual nature of the Deity and to penetrate and realize the deepest imports of the Bhagavata, the path of spontaneous devotion.

With Dayanidhi prabhu. 
Over 300 devotees from all over the world took part and spread Lord Chaitanya’s mercy to the huge crowds. We began by loading the Festivals, UK van at the Manor in the pouring rain. Sound equipment, large Gaura Nitai Deities and a heavy duty rikshaw that was to be Their chariot. Then eight of us squeezed into the remaining room with our belongings. Then off to Dover to catch the 1AM ferry to Calais in France. We arrived in Amsterdam just in time to bath and start setting up the Deity and sound cart. Kadamba Karana maharaja arrived with 200 devotees from Radhadesh and off we went on probably the most memorable Harinam I’ve ever been part of. I konked out after 4 hours but it went on for another two. Great kirtans and the association of so many wonderful Vaisnava’s. Thank you, Srila Prabhupada.

HH Giriraj Swami’s wonderful answer! Lord Krishna and His energies exist eternally, simultaneoulsy, but because Krishna is primary and His energies are subordinate, we say that they come from Him. For example, we say that the sunshine comes from the sun, because the sunshine is secondary to the sun, but as long as the sun has existed, the sunshine has also existed. 
One of the kids was asking if the lady close to Krishna is His girlfriend!

The boat festival marks the symbolic event occurred between Radha and Krishna before 5000 years at Rajghat in River Yamuna. The Gopis often carried the milk products from Vrindavana and sold at Mathura to earn their living. Srinivasa Acharya says, “Krishna started the boat festival from this Raj Ghat with the beautiful Radha and Her associates to cross the River carrying pots of milk products. See the amazingly beautiful face of Krishna. On the riverside remained Krishna on a worn out boat. Radha and Her associates urged to Krishna, “Please take us to the other side of River Yamuna.” Krishna rowed them down to some distance with great pleasure. Let us describe Krishna’s playful pastimes with them.”
Beautiful video depicting the love of the Gopis for Lord Krishna with classical music as background.
